After more the more than 24-hour long travel, I finally reached to my destination city, Nairobi. I arrived at 5am in the morning and my tandem partner Anke and our taxi-driver were there to meet me to start our journey to our accommodation place. During the sunrise we were already heading towards the city and on our way we also saw a lot of people walking to work (here you have to walk to work sometimes as much as 15km one way if you are coming from the slum).

This is probably the last point where I will have a decent internet connection for months. And currently I cannot write much more as I am borrowing a computer from one of the employees here and he has already come nervously couple of times to check on me.

My name is Katre-Helena and I will be going to work for three months as a volunteer in Shianda village, Kenya under GLEN internship program. GLEN is a internship program directed to the European youth in order to get them more acquainted with the field of global education. After the program, participants will continue to carry out global education activities in the local community. I must say that I am pretty excited already to see what will happen. I will write more about my exact duties and how I will spend the months, when I will arrive to Shianda.
